Maintain natural vegetation buffer zones around ponds; for example, 160 m from the edge of wetlands and 30-100 m along...
Fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides should not be applied within 100m of water bodies and wetlands until lethal and sublethal impacts...
Develop a Columbia spotted frog Species Management Plan.
Remove livestock from known hibernation sites.
Conduct annual workload analysis to determine the budgetary and biological staffing needs to accomplish conservation actions identified in the implementation...
Manage grazing on stream habitat to avoid compaction, late season vegetative loss, willow damage, stream channelization and down-cutting.
Adopt a standard protocol for inventory of Columbia spotted frogs.
Fence critical breeding, foraging, and over-wintering habitat, such as ponds, springs and riparian areas, and movement corridors between breeding and...
Create a plan to facilitate survival of embryos. Should it be necessary in the future, rather than allowing embryos to...
Restrict use of fire retardants around aquatic sites; Prescribed burns should not be conducted at times when amphibians could be...
Conduct research to determine best land management practices, especially involving cattle grazing, aquatic connectivity, and seasonal movement patterns as well...
Conduct timber management activities after amphibians have entered their overwintering sites, e.g., after mid October.
